Dear Mumj, This is such a precious photo of Littlebit. What beautiful expressive eyes she had.

We well know your pain in our home. You know we surely do. It's terrible to lose them or to have to make that decision to have them put to sleep. Horrible. They are so very much a part of us and our lives. And you had her for 16 beautiful long years.

You were the best family she could have ever had. Always remember that. Okay?

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful, much loved Littlebit. I know how sad you must be feeling, just know we are all thinking of you. Remember all the good times & remember how she looked after you to make you recover, now you be strong for her. A truly beautiful memorial photo. Keep smiling=^..^= #10396274

What an adorable capture of your dear little friend, Nancy!!! So sorry for your loss, friend. Just remember, the love and tenderness you showed that made the life of Littlebit such a happy and perfect one!!! #10396276

Such a beautiful portrait Nancy! Losing your pet is one of the most heartbreaking moments in life. Especially your pet lived with you for many years. I'm sure Littlebit was happy being with you. She must be resting in peace now. #10396281

What a beautiful portrait, Nancyj! ... and what sad news! I'm sure you are in terrible pain over the loss of your sweet Littlebit! Pets are such great reminders of how we should treat one another ... without being judgemental and loving unconditionally. I know your dear kitty brought you so much comfort and joy ... but none of us can live forever, ... not here on earth anyway.

I really do believe that Littlebit has gone to the Rainbow Bridge and will be waiting there for you to join her. Don't worry because she is happy and not in any pain. Our pets will be there with her too! Just dream about the wonderful times you had together and she will remain in your heart forever! My thoughts and prayers are with you, my dear friend.

Such a wonderful portrait. Very sorry to hear that you have lost her. She will always be with you though as you will forever see or hear something that will remind you of her and in that moment - she will be there again. #10396311

What a precious portriat of your beautiful kitty. I am so sorry for your loss. :( I too know the pain you are feeling. Rely on all the great times you have shared together and hold them forever in your heart. You will be in my prayers Nancy. Blessings of peace to you my friend, and a GREAT BIG HUG !! #10396418

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Littlebit. I know what you are going through, been there many times. You have your precious memories and photos and the knowledge that you gave her a wonderful life. #10396442

NancyJ, I'm so sorry to hear about Littlebit's passing. When you lose a much-loved furbaby after 16 years, the pain is as great as losing a child. Some people (who never have had such a deep connection to an animal) think it's absurd to compare the two. But you and I and everyone above who has "been there, done that", understand that love for a small and vulnerable being is the same, whether it's for a child or for a long-time companion. And the void in our hearts is also the same.My thoughts and prayers are with you. Please look at this gorgeous portrait whenever you need to, and remember Littlebit this way. #10396569

This one called out to me: "Open me up and take a longer look". Those amazing eyes, those wonderful whiskers, that deep rich b/g...and being a whole-hearted cat lover, I followed the "command"...and then, having been there myself so many times before, my heart broke for you reading your very sad commentary. There's no easy way to wade thru the emotions you're feeling right now, Nancyj and I know you know that - but you will, at some point, look back on your LittleBit and these sad times, with less pain and a genuine sense of gratitude for the gift of the time she chose to spend with you and yours. I wish you that peaceful place. Take care. #10397138

My heartfelt condolences on the earthly loss of Littlebit....sounds like she'll never be forgotten....it is so wonderful to have "children of fur" that come into our lives and seem to change us, usually for the better. Hugs to you Nancyj..... #10427148
